Hildesheim. A Cpl crewman is making up some maps and briefly leaves the room leaving said maps unattended. Without a word and like a well oiled machine, the maps are descended upon from all sides by others more senior.
8 months later at the finale of a Regt'l Ex an O group is called by the CO. Comd Avn BAOR is visiting to see how professional 1 Regt are.
CO asks Ops Offr for a map of such and such area.
"Don't worry Sir!" pipes up OC 661, "I have one with me here"
The CO's pretends to ignore the submarine periscopes, trains, suspiciously square woods and 'ere be monsters' etc and carries on briefing much to the amusement of all and the discomfort of OC 661!
